WHAT IT IS: Artisan flavored pastas and matching sauces.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT: The pasta has much more flavor than other flavored pastas we’ve tried.

Pasta Mama’s: 26 Pasta Flavors With Matching Sauces

For more than 25 years, Diane Santillie has been making fettuccine, linguine and pappardelle for sale:

Diane made her first batches in her own kitchen. She took it to Ariel’s restaurant in Richland, Washington, where she worked at the time. The gourmet pastas sold out as fast as Diane could make it, and an artisan business was born.

You can buy the pasta and sauces online, to enjoy at home or give as gifts.

Savor The Flavor

Whether as a first course or a main, Pasta Mama’s bounty of choices will keep your palate entertained time after time.

Not all 26 flavors (plus plain and whole wheat) are available in all three cuts—thin linguine (1/8 inch wide), medium-width fettuccine (¼ inch) and wide pappardelle (between 3/4 of an inch and an inch). very flavor is available in fettuccine, and the the choices in the other cuts are more than generous. Kosher-certified flavors are indicated with an asterisk (*).

You’ll note sweet flavors. These are delicious as sides with spicy dishes and meats (including game). Or, you can serve them with ice cream, sweet cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche as a pasta dessert.
